Hi guys thanks for your replies , first let me apologize if i have posted in the wrong place , the games i play WOW and SWTOR if i play on high settings after a short time i lose connection to monitor only briefly then it comes back, if i keep playing on high settings it happens more frequently and occasionally i will get a big magenta square filling most of the monitor or the computer will shut down, as i say if i ply on low settings it ok this is the spec
Cheers guys

Have ou checked that the fan on your GPU is still working?

according to device manager it is

 

[chas]

Sounds like you need to clean your pc.

I do regularly

 

[chas]

How does it do that? Device manager doesn't report rpm? Download GpuZ run it press the? And start the GPU test then check the sensor tab and watch the load v fan rpm v temp and report back

Thanks i am not very knowledgeable in this stuff, that why i came here for advice, i thought if device manager said this device is working properly it would be working i will do as you have said and report back thanks again for everyone who has replied i appreciate it

Thats ok everyone has to start somewhere, let us know how you get on with GPU-Z use it to take a screenshot too (top right of gpu-z window) and post the link.

Hi here's the screenshots the 1st one is when 1st booted up 2nd is after a few hours on low settings

nothing wrong with that looks normal fan is spinning. Now on the main GPU-Z tab look on the right of the window for the "?" press this then start the test. Should open a new window with a red moving picture. Now go back to the sensor screen and leave it for about a minute then screenshot it. GPU Load should be showing >90%

Graphics card looks fine looking at those readings.

Okay thanks to everyone who replied maybe i am gonna need have some one look at the machine, again thanks all

Hmm big magenta squares i wonder if the vram is going on it. Have u tried a few stress tests see if any pass ok?

You could maybe try underclocking the ram a bit or if not then the core see if that stablizes it a bit?

Thanks for your input but ram stress tests and ram underclocking are a bit beyond me i think a repair shop will have to be my next move, thanks guys i really appreciate everyone's input
